felted cat bed....in progress


Okay, so I have HOW many knitting projects going???? don't ask...

but I have made a felted purse before and really really really want to make a couple of felted kitty beds....and this yarn was just dying to come home with me.....pretty garish I know, but will be cute once felted and with a wee grey kitty napping in it.

mmmm danish butter cookies....


gosh I love these things.....they seem to be *everywhere* at this time of the year (I hesitate to say Christmas as it isn't even the end of November yet!!)




yummy yummy with a nice cup of Tim Hortons coffee.....

oh yeah, made this pendant on Thursday. Not great photo as you cannot see the rainbow iridescence of the moonstone cabochon, but kinda funky nonetheless....

Barriers to Success

Barriers to Success

Why do I have to make things so hard for myself?
I seem to do everything to sabotage success.
There is just so much I want to do, but my ability to organize is weak.

I have all these ideas in my head for jewelry.
Yet when I have time off work, I hesitate to do even a fraction of the fun stuff to get my plans off the ground.
It seems like there are so many other things that need to get done.
I tried Flylady. Worked for awhile but I fell off the wagon.

So much to read: job-related, jewelry-related, fiction, self-help including financial….oiy oiy oiy!!

I can see why people hire personal organizers now. Everything seems important! Too important to throw away! I have to learn to let go in order to clean out the clutter and give my mind space to grow and produce.

Anyone have any tips?
